'He's becoming a grown man' - Solskjaer praises Lingard for answering critics with West Ham winner

The winger went from scapegoat to hero for the Red Devils as they bounced back from their midweek defeat with a win at West Ham

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted to see Jesse Lingard answer his critics by scoring the winning goal as they beat West Ham 2-1 on Sunday.

The England international came off the bench to help United on the way to securing three points when he struck in the 89th minute of the Premier League clash.

Lingard's decisive display comes just days after he faced a lot of criticism for a mistake that proved his side's undoing in their Champions League defeat against Young Boys in midweek.
